New Poster: The Swell Season in Mesa, AZ

Our poster for The Swell Season's show in Mesa, AZ last night, is available now. This 18" x 24" four color silkscreen poster was printed on Accent Opaque Smooth White 100# cover stock. It is a signed and numbered edition of 200. The majority of the edition was available from the band last night at the show, so we only have a small amount available for sale.

If you get a chance to see The Swell Season on this tour, definitely do. Their new album, Strict Joy, is great and they are one of the best live shows I have ever been to. I suppose while I am plugging and sounding like a super fan, if you haven't seen the movie Once yet, rent it ASAP. Part of the inspiration for this movie, was the result of soundtrack The Swell Season created for Jan Hrebejk's movie, Beauty In Trouble. 'Once', is a low-budget Irish indie film that turned out to be one of the most successful independent features of 2007. The pair not only wrote the songs for the movie but they both starred in it as well.
